Drel Lexingtoi * j Campaigners at Summit. j To the Editor of the Dispatch: This is the third campaign meeting in this county, as was pre-arranged by the Executive Committee The cloudiness of the early morniDg predicted an unfavorable day, but by 9 o'clock, the clouds had scattered; the people began arriving from all directions and V6ry soon a large crowd had collected. At 10:20 a. m, chairman P. H. | Craps called the meeting to order and began introducing the speakers; beginning with the aspirants for County Commissioner. Mr. J. W. i Shealy was the first to speak, being followed by Messrs. W. E. Lorick, J. i W. Hendrix, John W. Smith, R H. j Baughman and Isaiah Hallman. Mr. O. O. Drafts was present, but made ! no speech. Then came the men for Supervisor: Messrs. J. W. Fry, E. A. Smith, S. P. Shumpert and L J. Langford. j All the candidates for these two i offices, which are so closely connect; ed, made their statements clearly i aDd left a field for a varied vote. Next came the Auditorial trio, as follows: G. A. Derrick, M P. Lindler and M. D. Harman. All three made short addresses, and gave the platform to other members of the army (?) Mr. P. H. Corley was not well enough to be present and the other candidates for Sheriff agreed between themselves to make no speech in his absence caused by sickness. Thus the people was next invited to listen to the men for County Superintendent of Education: Messrs. John S. Derrick and J. E. R. Kyzer. Both were present and addressed the audience. Frank W. Shealy and Samuel B. George, who stand for re election as Treasurer and Clerk of Court respectively, were absent. The former on account of sickness of himself.

Epting, J. H. Frick, P. E Hutto and J. B Wingard. Each told in short ringing speechesjwhatbe would try to do for us and if we knew they could, we would send the whole lot (?) down to fight for us. W. H Sharpe was next introduced as a candidate for the State Senate. He spoke for a short time and was fnllrtroo/? Ko Par .TnnV> lil'lajor^Q onrl I'JUUTT&U KJJ JLVW T WUU JUU TT U1UV uuvt D. F.

Edwards entered the race at the eleventh hour and having been cut of politics up to now, has no political record to Rtand upon. Next and last came those talking fellows who are out in the public highways making a tremendous race for Soliaitcr. Tbey were all present except Geo. R Rembert; Geo. Bell Timmerman had to leave on the afternoon train aDd did not get to speak, hence, G. P. Logan, N. G. Evans and S. McG. Simkins were the ones who addressed the people. This was Evans1 and Logan1^ first time to speak here, and we know not the impression they made. It is evident at this time even that the race for Senate and Sheriff will be the center of attraction in the county campaign. In writing this it is my intention to give only a snap shot review of j the day's work here and not to praise any odb man or faction of men, but to leave the field clear; let the people draw their own conclusions and vote as they please.

J /! _ 1.1 Vjrowan OiUiKmB, ci JCiUgeueiu, wan next introduced and he made au appeal along the same line. Both of these gentlemen discussed the issues of the campaign very well and were emphatic in their language. Tlie next candidate for Solicitor, George Bell Tiramerman, of Lexington, who made an earnest appeal to bis hearers and spoke directly to the point. George R Rembert, Esq , cf Colum bia, did not arrive in time to get before the people in the forenoon, but was listened to with interest just after dinner. None of the other candidates for Solicitor were preseut. The next thiDg was the introduction of the aspirants for senatorial honors and Mr. D. F. Efird. who made a good talk, was the first to explain and elucidate the difficult problems involved in this race. W. m i? ???no? ???o?a?B????n. .1 If?I Libia, S.

On assembling in the afternoon with Mr. S. S. Liodler as chairman, Rev. Joab Edwards, the third aspirant for senatorial honors, made a | loDg talk. I The candidates for the House of I Representatives announced through | their chairman, J. Brooks Wingard, j that owing to the lateness of the day they would not have anything to say. Messrs. John S.
